The Charity Commission, the registrar and regulator of charities in England and Wales, assessed the governance and management of the Garden Bridge Trust. They published a concluding report on the Garden Bridge project in April 2019 which you can find here.

In February 2019, Transport for London published a detailed breakdown of the cost of the project: https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/publications-and-reports/temple-footbridge. The government has no plans to conduct any further reports.
